  • HANDBRAKE MECHANISM FOR RAILWAY WAGONS AND STEERING WHEEL FOR A HANDBRAKE MECHANISM FOR RAILWAY WAGONS
    Publication number: 20210403058
    Abstract: A handwheel-actuated, extreme low-profile parking brake mechanism for railway cars, which can be housed in a housing that together with the handwheel does not exceed a width of 6¼ from the side surface of the car, in this way it meets the requirements of the applicable normative specification defined by the same AAR association and by the FRA regulations, thus fitting into the reduced space available for this brake mechanisms on one side of the railway car.

  • Unit guide wear plate for brake beams
    Patent number: 8668059
    Abstract: An improved unit guide wear plate for brake beams, which provides a brake beam centering force and aligns the movement of a brake beam end guide within the side frame of a railroad car truck so that the brake shoes can provide the maximum amount of force against the wheels when stopping the railroad car, and which is less prone to fracture than current unit guide wear plates.
